Thomas Tuchel: Chelsea boss calls on Timo Werner to not overthink goal scoring

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has urged Timo Werner to not "worry" about or "overthink" his goal scoring form.

The striker has scored twice in 31 games for club and country, and missed a key chance in Germany's loss to Macedonia on Wednesday.

Tuchel likened Werner's overthinking of the issue to that of asking a woman on a date, adding: "You cannot force her to, you just step a little bit back and maybe she will call you up.

"So the goals will come."

He added: "Don't overthink it. It is very easy for me to say because we aren't out there and everybody is pointing fingers at him, but this is the challenge right now.
